If you have the medibuntu repository added to your sources.list, then skype is available for installation in Adept Manager.

Have you checked to see if skype is available in Adept Manager? If you find it, then the repository is loaded.

If it is not, then follow my HOWTO: Add the Medibuntu Repository and PGP Key

sudo wget [url]http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/dapper.list[/url] -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
sudo wget [url]http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/edgy.list[/url] -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
sudo wget [url]http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/feisty.list[/url] -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
sudo wget [url]http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/gutsy.list[/url] -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list

Choose the line appropriate to your version of Kubuntu and run it from terminal. Then, to add the PGP key, issue this line too:

wget -q [url]http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg[/url] -O- | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update

Thank you. As the question of getting the medibuntu repository added comes up a lot, well, an easy to use "how to" seemed appropriate. This information can be found many places on the 'Net if one uses Google!
